Long Shoot from the hip Poems

Glory to the Ukranian Freedom Fighters
 
Democracy and freedom are under attack
Beaurocracy and greed man,

A garden sun chases our ginger cat.
Dad watches World War Two
up close on the TV
he grinds his teeth,
a general forced to take a back seat.
Mother in the kitchen,
not her natural territory.
She opens cupboards exploring contents.
It...

Or because I fear my story might be underrated

Where far from conforming to best practices, impulsive characters
Whip up antagonistic emotions which rip
Apart intended outcomes and incite detractors

Into a frenzy
Whose course of action

Inquiring of my grandparents to explain love,

Don't Get Caught in the Looking Glass

The ink is the poison
That's spreading my rage

It has no...

the rhyming comes easy
cadence makes its call
and I stand empty handed
with nothing at all
